Silt Soil. Below are some common types of soil parent materials: 1. These groupings create various sizes of voids and solids in the soil horizons. Types of Soil Structure Common types of soil structure include granular, platy, blocky, and prismatic. 0000001718 00000 n The primary soil particles i.e. Factors Affecting 7. Usually, five distinct classes may be recognized in relation to the type of soil structure from which they come. Its upper limit is air or shallow water. Soil structure and SOC are interrelated. Soil is classified into four types: Sandy soil. 0000008511 00000 n Types of Soil Structure 3. 0000032693 00000 n Figure 1 shows the different types of soil aggregates, and how easily water typically moves through each of these types.
